yyacner's School of Music.

Wagner's theory is that the highest end of
musical scurls is to represent poetry, and
that without some such aim, or as merely in
strumental, music is without soul. In his
operas he represents the acts and emotions in
the sounds themselves, leaving out what is
called melody. The style is recitative, and
the whole abounds with harmony and instru-
nentation

Poo and Lsngfellow

They are undoubtedly the two most noted
American poets. Poe had more of poetic
genius than any of his countrymen. Long
fellow is one of the most popular poets of any
country. There is something healthful and
soothing and comforting in his works, which
accounts for their popularity rather than
brilliant poetic inspiration. Poe wrote but
little. Longfellow wrote a great deal, and
his works have large sale, not only in
America, but abroad.

Lunar Rainbow.

A rainbow produced by moonlight is a very
rare phenomenon. A solar rainbow is pro-
duced by the direct light of the sun on drops
of water, each drop breaking up the rays
into the primary colors The lunar bow is
caused by the moonlight the suns reflected
light acting in the same way; but it is not
sufficiently powerful, except in very rare in
stances, to show anything more than CLEAN
of pale yellow light.

Sailor Suits Worn bv small novs.

Little boys just graduating from dresses
are this season transferred to sailor suits,
some of which are decidedly picturesque in
appearance. For midsummer wear there are
suits of white linen with blue collars and a
cap of blue. The trousers may be either
short or long; in the latter case these widen
at the ankle in true sailor style.

kansas City Star.1

In the Senate Mr.. Edmunds has given
the notice he always gives near the close
of the session, that for the next two weeks
no measure will be allowed to go through
by unanimous consent. In fact, the re
quests for consent for any purpose will
meet with his objection. There is no rule
of the Senate for this practice, which has
been practiced for years by Mr. Edmunds,
but his objection must be acquiesced in,
in accordance with the privileges of SEN
ators. Mr. Edmunds is the terror of all
jobbers in the senate and the watch dog
of the treasury, as Mr. Holman Is in the
house. He has sailed into the Eads ship
railway bill in way to make Mr.. Vest
and its other hackers very uncomfortable.
The programme is to drive the measure
through now, but it has received "A stamp
